Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of Hargrett Library's correspondence, departmental reports, and patron forms. Most of the materials are from 1983 through 2011 but annual reports dating from 1954 are included as well as patron request slips and registers that go back to the 1970s. The correspondence is of particular interest since it includes information about such things as the Margret Mitchell, Lillian Smith and Erskine Caldwell collections.

Biographical / historical:

The Hargrett Library advances the research, instructional and service missions of the University of Georgia by collecting, preserving and sharing the published and unpublished works that document the history and culture of Georgia. In 1986, the University of Georgia named its collections of rare books and Georgiania, along with its historical manuscripts, as the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library in recognition of the generous philanthropy of businessman and bibliophile Felix Hargrett.

Arrangement:

This collection is arranged into three series: correspondence, departmental reports and patron forms.
